If you or a loved one is all stuffed up...
…apply a mentholated rub the right way. In other words, DON’T swipe some under the nose. That can make airways swell and fill with mucus, which is the exact opposite of what you need and could trigger breathing problems. Instead, use something like Vick’s VapoRub as directed - on the chest or throat. And don’t use a menthol medicated rub on kids under the age of 2.
